	VOLUME 3, TOPIC 12 SUMMARIES OF VOLUNTARY PAPERS CHOICE OF EXOTIC CONIFEROUS SPECIES FOR INDUSTRIAL PLANTATIONS IN TURKEY Korhan Tunçtaner1 Considerable progress has been made on introduction of exotic species to Turkey in the last decade. Many species and provenances have been tested and industrial plantations have been established with promising species at the coastal sites of Turkey. The evaluations made in recent years on growth performances of promising species proved that P. pinaster and P. radiata were the most suitable exotic species in the Marmara and Black Sea regions for the establishment of industrial plantations. The indigenous species, P. brutia, should be considered as a fast-growing species for the plantations in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions. Keywords: Exotic species, species introduction, trial site, provenance test, growth, performance 1Poplar and Fast Growing Forest Trees Research Institute, ezmit, Turkey.
